In 2006, the InfoSud press agency launched its Global Journalism Network Media21 in an effort to improve the training of journalists and their ability to report on global challenges. Since January 2009, InfoSud and Media21 are two independent institutions. Media 21 has constantly since its founding developed and extended its network and activities. Today over 1000 journalists from five continents have adopted this solution-driven approach to journalism close to the concerns of the public. Since 2007, 430 journalists have attended 26 training workshops and 13 field assignments on such global challenges as climate change, access to water and food, governance, migration, peacebuilding, human rights, health, the impact of development cooperation, as well as reconciliation and peace-related journalism. They have made 600 contributions to newspapers, radio, TV, internet, and blogs and met with 550 representatives of international organizations, governments, NGOs, the private sector and universities. In 2010, Media21 puts special emphasis on the contributions of media to governance and in particular to conflict prevention and transformation as well as peacebuilding. These topics are systematically covered when training journalists inhuman rights. Thanks to the support of the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue journalists from Kenya, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia have been able to role-play as government representatives and leaders of rebel groups negotiating a peace agreement. Future workshops on governance in Africa or on peace and war following the publication of the World Bank’s World Development Report 2011 „Conflict, Security and Development“ will be held in collaboration with the ICRC. A broader objective is to improve cooperation between the media, peace and humanitarian organizations in Geneva. The number of specialized organizations in Geneva is increasing, but they have difficulties to work together and to make their contributions known to the wider public. Geneva, unrecognized capital of peace and humanitarian aid? Might the media be able to awaken the Sleeping Beauty? Fabrice Boulé, Media21, published in the Swisspeace Newslwetter Nr88 , 19 May, 2010 |
